Sure was nice of the devs to release the pikachu with my favorite hebe's hat on Monday. Shame I couldn't nab a shiny, but it's still cute. Getting a shiny Lyra hat is almost an insult in comparison.

I'm a returning player, and damn, they really ramped up those xp gains huh?
I guess the current event is carrying it a bit, but still, I gained like 800k xp just from walking around for a few hours with incenses & using 2 lucky eggs today. 6-9k xp per catch if I got an excellent.
Anyway, are Routes worth doing besides for the novelty / medals? Walking 30 mins for a couple super potions & 2k xp seemed kind of naff, but I guess it's kind of cool being incentivised to explore a bit.
>>
>>58964572
Routes may give you a 7km egg (not guaranteed and you need to have an empty slot for an egg) from a randomly exchanged gift from a random place around the world. Also maybe a single zygarde cell but only the most gullible would commit to actually gathering however many hundreds are needed for the complete forme (which doesn't get one shot by Solgaleo's Solar Beam, just saying)
Other than that it's just an additional buddy heart lol
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>58964610
Good to know, thanks anon. I'll probably return to mostly just wandering around wherever then
Going 3 minutes out of my way to a cluster of stops is probably more rewarding than doing an entire route it seems (one of my local routes has a mile long stretch, each way, with no stops/gyms).
Feels like I've got 9 of the 2km eggs at all times anyway, so it'd just be done for the energy & heart(s)
>>58964613
I like idea of finishing that, but I'm not sure I'd want to commit
I might go for it very passively
>>
>>58964664
>Going 3 minutes out of my way to a cluster of stops is probably more rewarding than doing an entire route it seems
Anon, you can create routes yourself. They need to be at least 0.5km long (and start and end on a stop) but other than that the world is your oyster.
>>
>>58964672
Oh damn, I can? I figured it was like with stops, where they're "curated" heavily and actually trying to do stuff with them was a fool's errand. Like I tried to change an inaccurate name/description with a nearby one, and that got declined and I lost all faith in that stuff right away.
What's stopping me from making a series of routes that perfectly go from home to work?
>>
>>58964677
>What's stopping me from making a series of routes that perfectly go from home to work?
Nothing. Unlike stops, routes are 100% unregulated and get accepted in mere minutes. If there's a route you don't like for whatever reason, you can just report it and have it be deleted without much difficulty.
>>
>>58964679
Neat! Thanks anon, no more wading through muddy dogparks or wandering into the middle of nowhere for me then, if I want to engage with routes.
I'll try and make some that aren't so shitty. For me and in general.
>>
>>58964572
routes are for zygarde cells which doesn't count duplicate routes in the same day which normally cap at 3 per day and cap at 10 for this event and are the main source of fast tms if you are starting out without a cache of them
>>58964664
>Going 3 minutes out of my way to a cluster of stops is probably more rewarding than doing an entire route it seems (one of my local routes has a mile long stretch, each way, with no stops/gyms).
because it doesn't matter where you go with a route, it only measures distanced traveled and being at start and end points. the longer the distance the more cells that can appear at once. what you have is a commuter route.
>Feels like I've got 9 of the 2km eggs at all times anyway, so it'd just be done for the energy & heart(s)
they are purposely doing that so that people are free for 10km eggs on the weekend but it is also shitting up the game with egg hatch notifications they fully intend for you to be stocked with 2km eggs and ignore it
>>58964672
>Anon, you can create routes yourself. They need to be at least 0.5km long (and start and end on a stop) but other than that the world is your oyster.
create too many routes in the same area and you overwrite the routes and make them unviewable, don't fuck it up

shiny zygarde still has to be released in pogo, so that's coming eventually
depends on what they want to do with mega zygarde when it comes time to release that. you sure as hell won't be catching every one you beat in a raid. most likely it'll be like diancie where you get the mega energy for one (1) zygarde mega-evo from special research and that's it.
>>
>>58965151
That makes sense the zygarde I got a few years back was 11/11/15 so I just took it as a sign that I never needed to bother with the route bullshit. But now that I got the pass I’m considering doing enough routes to get the perfect form but don’t want to waste it on a sub optimal one if I don’t have to. And honestly I’d rather use a bottle cap on my shiny larvesta or something I value than having another ground type in the master league that I never use because of garchomp and groudon

Also I think white stripe Basculin was in route eggs last time I checked (might've changed since) but it's impossible to evolve into Basculegion in pogo because that would enable us to finish Hisui dex and we can't just have that

Stats hardly make a damn and only really kind of matter in PvP. A 4* will only be marginally better than your 11/11/15 in PvE. Grinding zygarde cells will take a lot longer than you think as well. The 50 cells they gave us with this pass was really nice, but it took the better part of 2 years for me get the 50 to change it to its 50% form. That being said, I only really do 1 route regularly, so it was 1 cell a day at best. I don't think anyone is using zygarde in PvP anyhow.

correction: the egg hatching is useful for pass points, but after that its as stated
>>58965400
very correct, everything is worthless and given too much advantage to players and remote trades should be way more lenient to enable more lucky trade popping
>>58965547
the tasks are a joke. hoard a task to use an incense if you need to. but just pop a regular incense to encounter them. "but muh shiny" can't help you there mate

they ruined on it on purpose because everyone needs to spend more on raid passes. stop enjoying something that is completely free
>>58965929
its times like these that I miss dragalia lost, because the ingame customer support was top notch. after just a few back and forth they confirmed a valentine hildegarde battle issue and it was eventually fixed in a later update. I don't have any experience of it but back then there was the nintendo hotline you could call about anything apparently. now players consult with each other because customer support is usually a waste of time talking to a bot or script reader

>>58965264
Stats only matter to me in the question of how many candies is it gonna take to get this shit mon to 4k. It hits that pretty naturally but I’m assuming that I’ll need at least 60 xl candies to get it there, which isn’t that much of a burn since I hoard the rare xl candies but I would rather spend it on mons I care about. Though within the next few months I’ll hit my arbitrary goal of having one of every type over 4k then I don’t know what I’m gonna do with the game. Maybe take a break? I need a hundo baxcaliber to get that one over 4k and getting THREE 98% lucky traded ones has really put a damper on my caring about that

>>58966340
It’s now one of each type, but since I’m stupid close to that goal (I just need volcarona really) I don’t know fully what to do next. I’ll probably just be walking my heracross since it’s mega can hit 5k but not without a stupid amount of xls. This started with getting mons to 3k, then with getting 15 mons over 4k so my first screen of highest CP mons were all 4k, THEN the idea of the one of each type happened. I’ve been playing a stupid amount since Covid and now I’m just about out of goals to set. I don’t even own a switch Pokémon game to transfer all this shit to so funneling it out isn’t much of an option, maybe if the next game allows you to have EVERY pokemon
>>
>>58966369
it actually makes me uncomfortable seeing a top cp page full of not fully leveled mons on an account that obviously has some decent time on it. one or two is fine but almost all of these are nowhere close to 50

Only interesting thing is the new megas I think. Well, and the Super max level, but I don't know how many raids you have to do of each mega to get to 5k energy so that might be out of the question.

When I first started playing I kept reading people say not to evolve pokemon until you had a reason to. The thing is I don't know what reason that would be. I'm not about to hit level 40 and I have a ton of pokemon I could evolve. Are there certain events or something i should wait for or what?

Just the 13/13/13 and above for the pve meta relevant
There used to be a time when people leveled up via mass evolving or registering new mons but now you can pretty much just do whatever
just pop a lucky egg if you ever feel like filling your dex all at once

>>58968216
the raids are every hour one type and refreshed spawn every half hour so 8 of one type in one sitting is possible. the hatchu rotate every hour unlike the sinnoh chu
>>58968601
some mon learn a featured move during certain events like blast burn which make a difference in pvp and pve but for the latter you are usually swimming in legendary mon and the former is more entertaining by leaving it to the game to set you up with random mon because it sucks. some day this game mode won't be a whole string of conceding for better results. yeah right its been this long.

So as I understand it gigantamax raids openly happen for a very short window on one specific day, but how come there are seemingly no hitmonlee or hitmonchan dynamax battles available anywhere? Aren't they supposed to be new addition too or were they also a limited time thing?
Why does this whole aspect of the game seem so obscure?

>the swords of justice are fairly bad shitmon when machamp and co are so much easier to raise for infinity minus one results
Incredibly retarded post. Terrakion is leagues above Machamp. Keldeo (secret sword forme) is the best non-mega fighting type mon.
>>
>>
>>
>>58969329
Niantic mismanaged Max Battles (end mega evos). They were hard pushing dynamax stuff for quite some time until they were told that the next mainline game would be ZA. At that point, they B lined straight to mega Pokémon and shoved Max Battles aside (which is still happening to this day).
>gigantamax raids openly happen for a very short window on one specific day
That is correct, Gigantamax mons are released as a raid day, so they are up only for 3 hours every month or so.
>but how come there are seemingly no hitmonlee or hitmonchan dynamax battles available anywhere?
Niantic is changing this for the next season (it seems) but the current "model" for Dynamax mon rotation is to spam the one mon from that week's Dynamax Monday everywhere. This week was Chansey (and excellent dynamax mon btw), which is why it's everywhere.
>Aren't they supposed to be new addition too or were they also a limited time thing?
They were added to the released dyanamax non pool, let's say, and have a chance to spawn anywhere, anytime, but it's not frequent enough that it matters much. They were pretty common a couple weeks ago, though.
>Why does this whole aspect of the game seem so obscure?
It's a "new" (like 2 year old) mechanic that Niantic introduced half-assedly. That plus the fact that you cannot use your old mons made a big portion of the playerbase not pay much attention to it. The best moment to get into Max Battles was during last year's Go Fest and Go Fest Finale where Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus and every Gigantamax mon were available.
>>
>>58969838
White is a significantly better Ice type attacker and better in the Master League (if you care for taptaptap). Black is pretty strong too, it's a great pick specially if you lack other/better dragon type attackers.
>>
>>58969842
they peaked with eternamax and have been fucking it up ever since. not just with the releases but also overhauling the daily rotation to be complete dogshit. nobody is even touching the mode anymore here, spots that aren't the 40 packed central location are completely disused because nobody has faith anymore that they can generate candy before being reset out after 9pm. they actually butchered it to shreds.
less than 3 hours to find a spot outside of daily activity only for it to reset with no candy earned is insanity. players seeked out specific duration spots e.g. 1 day to ensure candy generation and by standardizing it everyone has divided spot attention. nobody on the dev team even plays the game anymore, everything is decided by shitty A-B testing like shitty youtube titles and thumbnails. its shocking that people are still accepting of being guinea pigs that undergo horrible experimentation changes that worsen the game with no quality control.
>>58969838
don't know yet but freeze shock zekrom seems more useful. note that the base kyurem IV stats are used and it has to know glaciate and the shiny zekrom fusion has a green tail instead yadda yadda.

Do I need to go full autism and make a second account if I want those daily coins now? I think my local community is dead. I mostly just care about collecting stuff for myself so it doesn't matter too much I guess.
Oh, and are raids much more frequent than they used to be, or is it just the event? Feels like 90% of the time you can't interact with a gym anyway because of raids, maybe that's why things are extra fucked.
>>
>>
>>58975132
Oh good, it might just be the event then. I really hoped this wasn't a permanent change, seemed a little fucked having them constantly up
Still a little tempted to make that second account though, I live in gym distance so I could guarantee myself those 50 daily coins... Hmm
It's not against the rules, is it?

>>58975041
>Do I need to go full autism and make a second account if I want those daily coins now? I think my local community is dead. I mostly just care about collecting stuff for myself so it doesn't matter too much I guess.
you could, but without anyone to raid with whats the point. theres a reason the other person gave up. the game is one of the better versions of pokemon but at that point idk man. you could rationale that you could use coins and buy remote raid packs I guess...
>>58975132
>Which is also likely part of the reason no one has thrown you out of the gyms cause they have a like a 3 minute window to do so every half hour.
only the latter half is true. you can always interact with gyms 24/7, even after raid hours.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>58975188
>Still a little tempted to make that second account though
You should definitely do it. Getting your guaranteed 50 coins is a must if you have a homegym. The alt will also help you with raids.
>It's not against the rules, is it?
It is but who cares. There have been many official Niantic videos that show people holding more than 1 phone.

Oh absolutely, anon. Other than what the other anon said if you had a samsung, most chink phones, like mine which is a Xiaomi, come with an app or setting called (something along the lines of) "Dual Apps". I use it to have my main and alt on my phone, and I can even open both at the same time, which is a huge help during raids and such.
If you don't have a chink phone, I believe there are alternatives in the Play Store (usually called something like Mirror Apps or Parallel Apps), but you should read up a bit more about them as it seems (at least according to the ones I saw) they are pretty privacy invasive.
